Internet wins the 2008 Elections!

There is no question that the Internet had a huge impact on the 2008 presidential elections. According to ClickZ’s analysis, Barack Obama spent roughly $5.5 million on online ads between January and August of this year. The McCain campaign doesn't provide breakouts in its FEC filings, according to the article. Since the beginning of their campaigns, both candidates have also used YouTube to promote their message, posting videos, ads and speeches to their own channels. In addition, millions of people have used social networking sites such as Facebook to get campaign information or share ideas and information on the candidates. According to Reuters, web sites like CNN.com and NYTimes.com are expecting record traffic on this Election Day.
